Determine the project's FTE occupancy, peak and transient occupant counts, and calculate the required number of bicycle racks and shower facilities needed to fulfill the LEED requirements. (One FTE equals eight hours of occupancy. A transient occupant is a visitor, hotel guest, or customer who visits during peak periods.)
To calculate FTE occupants, use a standard eight-hour occupancy period. An FTE, therefore, has a value of one (8 ÷ 8). Each part-time staff occupant has a value of the number of hours of occupancy divided by eight (e.g., 4 ÷ 8 = ½ FTE). It follows that the total number of staff FTEs equals the total number of staff hours divided by eight.
